Play with custom maps on Imperials!

Here are some tips to get you started:

  • Your first step to start with would be setting the map size according to your needs 📐
    Remember you can always change the map size later.
  • You can then set each hex to a tile type. This can be random, fog, or a tile type of your choice.
  • To choose a tile type, click on a hex to cycle through the tile types.
    You can also right click on the hex to reset to random, or cycle through fog and sea.
  • Once your map structure is ready, choose the distribution of numbers for the tiles.
    The total number of numbers must equal the tiles, excluding any deserts.
  • You can then choose the distribution for the random and fog tiles.
  • Finally, place the ports on the map by clicking the dots on the hex edges. Set the port type distribution in the right window.
  • Your map is now ready. Give your map a funny name and click on the “Save” button.
  • All Imperials can play the game using your map now, by selecting it from the “Community Maps” section before the game is started.
  • Have fun playing your map on Imperials!
